Once upon a time I had the time to curl up on the couch and watch Day of Our Lives on a daily basis. When it was over… I’d call up my girlfriends and gossip about what we just saw. I was an avid watcher when Lisa Rinna was on. When I was web surfing I ran across a website for the Flex Belt and I stopped dead in my tracks.

With two children close in age, I try to focus on flexibility/individualization, educational value, durability and then the “coolness factor”. With four children ranging in age from 19 down to … [Read more...]
